Because it's unacceptable to replace a perfectly good driver in control of their vehicle with a vehicle that might just randomly kill them.
Traffic accidents don't happen randomly at all. If you are not too tired, drunk or using any substances, and not speeding, your chances of causing a serious traffic accident are miniscule.
These are all things you can control (one way or another). You can also adjust your driving to how you are feeling (eg take extra looks around you when you are a bit tired).
This feels like the trolley problem applied at scale. Will you deploy a self driving system that is perfect and stops all fatal accidents but kills one randomly selected person everyday?
